Flights to Wuchang, Wuhan from NT$5,986

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Wuchang could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to take a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help reduce this risk.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've put together some top tips for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Wuchang, here you come:

• Have your travel documents and passport handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
